Last week the Donald said the US had destroyed Iran's naval fleet. Today 16 mine laying vessels were destroyed. You really can't believe a word that the moron says. But no one calls it out.

Badenoch needs to stfu. She really is a complete plonker. Suggesting Starmer might give the Isle of Wight away while on his China trip. Tell you what I would rather be part of China than be governed by this utter twerp. Kemi, do one.

Exactly. Plus by law Farage cannot strip anybody of an agreed and awarded pension. He talks shite to the hard of thinking and they love him for it.

I'll strip civil servants of their pensions, but I'm keeping my £73,000 EU pension, despite my attendance record being the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs.

theguardian.comTory chair accepted £2k hospitality from developer of HMOs for asylum seekersExclusive: Kevin Hollinrake’s conference costs paid for by firm helping landlords convert homes for lucrative market The Conservative party chair, Kevin Hollinrake, accepted thousands of pounds worth of hospitality from a company that converts family homes into houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) for asylum seekers, official records show. According to the MPs’ register of interests, Living Redefined covered £2,000 worth of flights, hotel accommodation and dinner for Hollinrake and a family member to attend a property conference in the south of France earlier this year.

I’m not sure it reflects all that well on Mason that the most aggressive interview he’s managed with a politician in quite some time is in defence of his own journalism. It’s also a fairly extraordinary attack to make in response to a fairly mild critique. Not sure his judgment on the money here.

There should be a high bar for politicians attacking the media, but maybe Ed Davey has half a point here? For example, the first three paragraphs of this BBC story repeat Reform's £243bn figure without saying that the thinktank behind the estimate now disowns it. (This is mentioned in paragraph 35)

I have defended the BBC again and again. No more.

Best for Britain@bestforbritain.org

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR. This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

This is really important. #BBC collusion with Reform rhetoric of distortion and fear mongering is shameful.

How BBC presents the anti-migrant hotel protests vs how we do at @bylinesnetwork.co.uk BBC lead with a Reform UK voter saying "We are not happy with these men in this hotel because we fear for our children” We tell of the refugee children inside the hotel terrified by chants of “send them out!”

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

I think the facts are getting lost here. Indian Free Trade Deal. The NI rules only apply to Indian companies in India, who send temporary workers to the UK for Indian Businesses, and not Indians on Work Visas being hired by UK businesses.
